Menu options include artisan-crafted libations and cocktail cuisine, and a private dining area is available for groups.
Executive Chef Jacqueline Siao is overseeing the food and beverage program, bringing more than 15 years of culinary experience to the position. She previously served as executive chef at W Aspen in Colorado.
